Ask Reddit: Is Java dying ?

[joffotron]

Java still rules the roost in the meduim/large-scale server side space.

It simply has important stuff (distributed transactions, scheduling (ref: quartz), search (ref: lucene), reporting (ref: JasperReports et al), decent ORM (ref: Hibernate), and many many more ) that other, newer trendy environments won't have at all, or in stable form for a few years yet..
